also.... camp moron report.... or something like that

choices were slim to avoid the flood waters and danger zones. headed for a mountain lake that can be iffy as far as the type of campers that show up there. i usually only go there once a year when the wild raspberries are ready for pickin'

friday i get up there and there are only 3/22 sites free. two sites get 4g cell and they were both taken. so i opted for the only available site that had suitable hammock trees. set up and settle in.
the site next to me had a family from out of state. husband/wife/and i don't know how many kids, lost track trying to keep track of them. they were in a tent. husband gets his kayak and fishing pole and heads off to the lake. wife/kids left behind. there's lots of trails/roads in the area, actually took one of the early TW meets up there. i'm settled in the hammock reading a book. i hear some FAR FAR away gunshots, little "pops". didn't think anything of it. lady starts pacing through the campsite. then up and down the camp road. tells her kids to get into the car. she's still pacing. I'm still chilling in the hammock. she comes up to me (not many folks IN camp at that time) and asks if that was gusnhots. yep. she looks at me like i'm crazy because i heard it and am still chilled out. she asks if we should do anything about it. like what? they're far away, there's miles of forest service roads, its MT, everyone has guns, just someone doing a little target practice, no big deal, call 911 and they're going to think you're crazy. she gets in the car and drives to the lake which was only about 100 yards. honks and yells for her husband to come back to camp. he comes back. she cowers in camp for the rest of the afternoon/evening, refuses to let her kids play or otherwise enjoy themselves in any way and makes the husband stay in camp as well. they were packed and gone before i even got up for my morning bathroom break.

family on the other side of me as well. lots of kids again. camp has an ameoba shape to it and I was at the bottom/inside of one of the U's. kids keep cutting through my camp on their way to the lake. i was getting annoyed and also just wanted to F with them a little so each time the kids wandered through i set up an obstacle in the path they took - chair, table, bucket, firewood, etc. basically had a wall of camping shit strung out from my back step to my fire pit. kids still tried to cut through my camp even though by the end of it they were walking further doing so and avoiding my obstacles than it would have been to just stick to the GD road.

the family across the road from me wasn't an issue. H/W/younger son. He had a RC truck he was driving around the boulders in camp and enjoying himself. they kept to themselves and weren't an issue. at some point friday night i'm sitting by the fire and this big black/white dog i don't know what kind wanders over to my camp and just settles its head on my lap and sighs. kinda freaked me out and i was a little afraid to move. didn't seem like a mean dog but given the proximity i didn't want to risk it. just very quietly started talking "oh, hey there pupper. where did you come from?" next thing i know all three of them are yelling for "Daisy". dog kinda looked up and then set her head back on my leg. i asked "are you Daisy?" and she looked at me. I yelled out "over here!" and they all came running. they were super apologetic about her little intrusion into my camp but she seemed happy just hanging out by the fire with me they kept a close eye on her the rest of the weekend.

then saturday another site cleared out and some new campers moved in. little Honda Element pulls in and two guys, guessing late 50's or early 60's, get out. dirty jeans, cowboy boots, pot bellies, harley/budweiser/whatever tanks, beards. one starts setting up the tent while the other one hangs the biggest confederate flag i've ever seen from some of the trees. kind of an eclectic set up with the honda in the mix. later in the evening they started screaming like they were passing kidney stones or something - i think they were maybe listening to the lightning/avalanche stanley cup game but wouldn't immediately peg them as hockey fans... then the family with the kids cutting through my camp started playing christian rock music a little too loud. after the kidney stones passed the guys in the honda started playing "devil went down to georgia" and a few others that i didn't recognize. eventually the christian rockers played "coal miner's daughter" and the honda guys settled down. christian rocker kids were packing while i was making coffee this morning, the honda guys were still cuddling or sleeping off their hangovers when i left.

Wow

Gunshot part was funny as shit..
She wouldn’t like to be by my house.
There is a pit in the woods. At least a few times a week there is rapid gunfire.
Sometimes there is someone with a big bore sighting in. lot more 4 wheelers and bikes so
My easy access hunting spot is going away..

Good morning folks! Happy Monday. Only two days of work this week then my last three days of vacation. Four more days of work next week and then I'm unemployed for the first time in almost 18 years.

Have the best day you can!

Last weekend in Northern Wisconsin the ticks were bad. Even brought 2 home. Using tick spray didn't help much.
Then on Thursday doing yard work had one on my hand.
Still having the fathom tick feeling. I'll stop whatever I'm doing and do a tick check.

My wife got bit by a tiny tick a few weeks ago (luckily no signs of Lyme in the area of our cabin). I've already picked one off my neck and another off my arm. My cabin is in an old hardwood forest and I've never seen ticks like I have this year. Now when I ask my wife if we can check each other for ticks...I actually mean it!
